Believe In The Name

 Of His Son

 Jesus Christ

 

We know love by this, that he laid down is life for us – and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

 

Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hears do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him.

 

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he had commanded us.

 

1 John 3:16-23

 

When someone close to us dies, and we are not sure of the salvation of that person, we can become depressed. Pray and if it is in God’s Will, it will be carried out. God delights in giving us what we ask when it is in His will. Never underestimate His desire to respond to our prayers. A surprise might be just around the corner.

 

If you get definite with God,

He will get definite with you.
